A declaration of love with history
The property consists of different building parts. In the front area, there is the "tower" with a 3.5-room apartment. The following building part "farmhouse" has two apartments with a total of six rooms, two kitchens, and two showers/WCs on the ground and upper floors. The apartments are connected by an interior staircase. On the top floor, there is a large, unheated attic room. The old "barn" is currently used only as a storage and parking space. The property includes a stable that can be used for horse keeping. The sales object was built and expanded at different times. There are documents of work done in the years 1782, 1830, and 1850. In the "tower", a new apartment was built after a fire (1984) in 1990. In recent years, the buildings have been correctly, but sparingly maintained and used without significant changes. The building is of good and solid construction and is in a good general condition, considering its age. However, various renovation works will be necessary in the foreseeable future.
